The Bodhi Heart Appears!

Out of jealousy that Xiao Yan had the opportunity to Enlightenment Beneath the Bodhi Tree, Hun Yu had already begun to secretly make its own moves.

While everyone else was focused on who had passed the second round of the image test, Hun Yu had already condensed a small ball of Dou Qi energy in his palm.

"Xiao Yan, you can forget about completing a full comprehension session!"

After a soft whisper, Hun Yu hurled the ball of Dou Qi energy he had condensed in his hand directly at Xiao Yan, who was standing beneath the Bodhi Ancient Tree.

This burst of Dou Qi energy wasn't very powerful.

After all, condensing too much Dou Qi energy would easily attract the attention of others around.

The purpose of the burst of Dou Qi spirit he unleashed was simply to interrupt Xiao Yan's comprehension under the Bodhi Ancient Tree!

"Boom"

The pitch-black Dou Qi energy transformed into a shockwave, heading straight for Xiao Yan.

"Damn it, Hun Yu, what are you doing?"

"Xiao Yan, watch out!"

"Xiao Yan (Brother Xiao Yan), be careful!"

A series of exclamations rang out almost simultaneously.

Some glared angrily at the Hun Yu, while others were worried for Xiao Yan.

As for the Hun Yu, seeing the Dou Qi energy it unleashed getting closer and closer to Xiao Yan, a smug smile crept onto its lips.

However, the smile on his lips didn't last more than a few seconds before it suddenly froze.

"Buzz~"

When the Dou Qi energy unleashed by the Hun Yu was still about ten meters away from Xiao Yan, the space suddenly seemed to turn into a vortex.

Immediately afterwards, the vortex swallowed the Dou Qi energy unleashed by the Hun Yu.

"How could this be? The Bodhi Ancient Tree is actually protecting that guy Xiao Yan?"

At this moment, Hun Yu's expression was ashen.

"Thank goodness, Xiao Yan is alright!"

"Fortunately, the Bodhi Ancient Tree is protecting Xiao Yan."

"I knew Brother Xiao Yan would be alright!"

In contrast, those closely associated with Xiao Yan breathed a sigh of relief, and their expressions changed from gloomy to cheerful.

Of course, this isn't the end.

"Buzz~"

"Boom"

Just then, the spatial vortex that had absorbed the energy ball of Dou Qi unleashed by the Hun Yu sent the Dou Qi ball back.

"Bang"

"Waaah~"

The more powerful and faster Dou Qi energy struck Hun Yu hard in the chest, sending him flying backward and causing him to cough up blood in mid-air.

Seeing this, Xiao Yan, who were originally planning to retaliate against him for the Hun Yu's sneak attack, all came to an abrupt halt.

After all, in this situation, no one knows whether Hun Yu's fate was caused by his sneak attack on Xiao Yan, or whether this punishment is simply incurred by anyone who makes a move here...

"Calm down, everyone! This place is strange; it's entirely controlled by the Bodhi Ancient Tree. Don't make any moves without permission!"

Zuo He quickly stopped the group who were hesitating, wondering whether to attack the Hun Yu.

If they were to hit the Hun Yu and the damage were doubled back, they would be truly wronged!

It must be said that after experiencing life and death, Zuo He is now truly calm!

"That's right, everyone calm down. We'll settle this score with the Soul Hall Members after we get out of here!"

At this point, some people also expressed their agreement with Zuo He's suggestion.

"Hmph, then I'll spare Hun Yu's life for now!"

Xun'er snorted coldly, then stared at the Hun Yu with murderous intent in her eyes.

Xiao Yan is her bottom line!

She dislikes killing, but if anyone attacks Xiao Yan, she will make them pay tenfold!

Hun Yu's actions just now undoubtedly crossed Xun'er's bottom line.

But she also knew that the bigger picture had to be prioritized now.

Meanwhile, Hun Yu, whose Dou Qi energy had been amplified and returned to him, got up from the ground and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his face growing increasingly pale.

He tried to steal a chicken but ended up losing the rice instead!

Originally, he wanted to interrupt Xiao Yan's enlightenment under the Bodhi Ancient Tree, but he didn't expect to achieve his goal and instead get injured himself.

At this moment, Hun Yu seriously suspected that Xiao Yan had used the Bodhi Ancient Tree's back door!

Otherwise, why would they all have to endure the trials of the Bodhi Ancient Tree, while Xiao Yan was directly sent here and given the opportunity to meditate under its Bodhi Ancient Tree?

To put it bluntly, it was Xiao Yan's treatment, which was like that of the Bodhi Ancient Tree's own son, that made Hun Yu feel unbalanced.

There's a reason why Hun Yu came to seize the opportunity after the Bodhi Ancient Tree appeared.

Within the Hun Clan, there is currently controversy over who should become the young clan leader and inherit the position of the Hun Clan leader in the future.

Because, in this generation of the Hun Clan, two individuals possessed Divine-Grade Bloodlines.

One is the Hun Yu, and the other is the Hun Feng.

This time, the Bodhi Ancient Tree appeared in the world, but Hun Feng happened to be in seclusion and missed the opportunity.

So the Hun Yu arrived.

In the internal power struggle between the two within the Hun Clan, Hun Yu was actually at a disadvantage.

Therefore, he wanted to take advantage of this trip to the Vast Desolate Ancient Region to obtain an opportunity.

Then, after returning to his clan, he reversed the relationship between himself and Hun Feng in one fell swoop!

In this way, he can become the young patriarch of the Hun Clan.

It has to be said that Hun Yu's idea was quite beautiful.

This is also why Hun Yu Xiao Yan's mindset began to have problems after he obtained the greatest opportunity of the Bodhi Ancient Tree's appearance in the world.

Little did Hun Yu know that even if he became the young patriarch of the Hun Clan, he could only ever be the young patriarch...

After this little incident, although many people envied Xiao Yan's good fortune, they dared not act recklessly anymore.

And so, from the start of the second round of the image test to its conclusion, almost half a month had passed.

However, the number of people has dwindled from around a hundred who passed the first round of the illusion test to less than fifty now!

"Buzz~"

Then, Bodhi appeared before everyone again without warning.

"Those of you who remained should have all defeated your opponents and obtained a Bodhi Seed, right? Now, the final, third test will begin, which concerns the question of who will possess the Bodhi Heart!"

"Crunch, crunch~"

Before anyone else could ask him anything, Bodhi spoke up on his own.

At the same time, as Bodhi's words fell,

Nine branches suddenly extended from that miniature version of the Bodhi Ancient Tree, which was only a dozen feet tall.

Just as everyone was puzzled, the nine branches intertwined and then began to swell.

"Knock knock~"

Then, a heartbeat suddenly rang in everyone's ears.

"This, this heartbeat is..."

Someone suddenly realized something, and their face lit up with excitement.

Bodhi didn't explain anything, but simply manipulated the nine intertwined branches, extending them to a height of a thousand meters!

Then, the bulging part of the nine intertwined branches split open.

A jade-colored crystal appeared before everyone's eyes.

That was none other than the Bodhi Heart!
